Will interview you take copies of all your credentials say they are hiring several people and that they will give you a call buy the end of the week and then no call and no response when you call them, have had several friends experience the exact same thing, unprofessional and tacky way to communicate!!

FirstLight Home Care of Olympia was amazing, very responsive, professional and caring. We had an emergency and had help on Monday when we hadn't even contacted them until the Friday before! Fortunately, we didn't need them long as my father progressed quicker than expected, but it was great to know we had the support we needed to get him back home! Thanks again, Sean Ledgerwood

First Light Home Care has provided wonderful care for my mother. The caregivers have been competent and kind. The office staff have been helpful in finding scheduling solutions. Compared to a larger home care company that we have also used, First Light is more personal, flexible, and caring.

This is the second time in my father‘s life where we have needed someone that we could trust to care for him every day of the week. From the intake examination to dealing with all of the insurance paperwork to them, listening and responding to all of our needs First Light HomeCare has been fantastic. We didn’t even hesitate to call them again for support given our incredibly positive experience just a few years ago. Providing care is a combination between technical expertise and being the right fit for the right client. When it comes to changing caregivers to make sure we have the perfect fit First Light has been incredibly responsive and very accommodating. The caregiver that we have right now brings my father to doctors appointments, leads with cooking, cleaning and so much more while bringing a positive vibe every day. I’m Confident this support will help my father live longer than he would without the support that he’s getting —- A Very Grateful Son

Kathy their lead caregiver is wonderful she knows exactly how to make folks feel comfortable, her many years of caregiving experience gives her the ability to provide tips to help family members as well as her clients. Thank you FirstLight Home Care of South Sound for all that you do!
